very difficult
it can be done if you have access to a vice
place the smaller wand section in the jaws so that it slips easily but the larger part is stopped by the vice jaws
a sharp pull will break the seal effect and it will pop apart.
if the wand is metal you can enlarge the outer part at the joint by applying heat carefully with a gas lighter for a few seconds and pulling apart
Kenmore canisters are famous for melting the connection between the hose handle and the upper wand. They also sometimes melt between the lower wand and the power nozzle neck. Take it to your local vacuum repair center and get a diagnosis.
Look on the handle near the wand handle release button for extension and there is a little round cover, under that is another screw...usually it is a tamper proof torque screw.
Remove the wand from the telescoping pole, and look at the two holes in the wand where the electrical connection is made between the wand and the pole. You may see corrosion, which will cause the connection to be flaky and the power assist to surge on and off.
In any case, a good bet is that the wire harness in the wand needs replacing. It's about $15. (P/N KC37GBZTZV06) You'll have to take the wand apart - 3 screws and some judicious prying - to replace it.
try and bend a small part of the metal wand with a scre driver careful not to break the handle they are $120. then get a pair of needle noise plyers and try and pull it out.
Check the contacts where the power head attaches to the wands and also where the wnd attaches to the hose. If any of the contacts look burnt, then they will need to be replaced. Unhooking them when power is on is what causes most of these problems. But if they look ok, could be a problem inside the power head, or in the circuit board that is inside the cannister.
